When I searched to see if it had been posted already, I did not find it, but found this excellent thread, instead. So, instead of posting it as an article, I am first posting it here as a comment/addendum to this thread.

About Cindy Sheehan
What is most interesting to me is that the press gives this
little bunch of people who are protesting with Cindy so much air time without
discussing Cindy's background. This is a case of more press bias.It has been pointed out on just a couple of media outlets that Cindy divorced her
first husband and left her son with him to be raised while she became a political
activist for the Democratic Party. She had very little to do with her son in his
growing years. She remarried. The 1st husband remarried. The
original father raised the son with his new wife. They miss their son and mourn
the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and
that they agree with the stance of America in Iraq and on terror. They said that
their son was eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq.
He volunteered. How many news stations carried their interview? Not many.So the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a stink. She gets an
audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands another
audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy? Practically all
of them. Cindy didn't care about her son. She let another woman raise him. Cindy
doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq.
Cindy cares about her liberal, feminist agenda and about using the death of her
son to lobby against Republicans and Bush. And the press is helping her. Why? Then few days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy. Cindy sounds
like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to even
raise her own son. It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy. We middle
Americans should be fed up with Cindy also. We should be fed up with the press.
They manipulate us into their "group think" and into the responses that they want
on their polls.

I have no idea who "H. A. Brown" is, but, if there is any truth to his claim that Cindy is raising all this ruckus about the loss of a son she had little part in raising, then perhaps this (with improved formatting) might, indeed, merit its own thread...
Comments, anyone?
While much, if not most about this woman is not as it appears, this thread debunks the e-mail your wife received:

The only good thing about Katrina was that it ended this wretch's 15 minutes of fame.
